What is the reason for popular science?

Popular science is the cause of scientific popularization, is useful to the whole society, and is a science to improve national consciousness.

Popular science is a kind of social education. As a social education, it is different from both school education and vocational education, and its basic characteristics are sociality, mass and continuity. The characteristics of popular science show that the work of popular science must use socialized, popular and regular popular science methods, make full use of various circulation channels and information media in modern society, and lose no time in infiltrating into various social activities to form large-scale, dynamic and socialized popular science.

Modern science and technology is an extremely huge and complex three-dimensional structural system with rich connotations and various social functions. In popular science work, we should not only attach importance to the external utility of scientific and technological knowledge, but also ignore its internal scientific thought, scientific method and scientific spirit. Among the four different levels of knowledge and information (namely, data, information, knowledge and intelligence), intelligence occupies the highest level and is the most active and important quality that constitutes a person's scientific and cultural quality. This is especially important for leading cadres at all levels and managers of scientific and technological work in different positions.

It is of great significance for building a socialist modern power. First of all, the development of education, science and culture is an indispensable condition for building socialism. Without the comprehensive progress of education, science and culture, it is impossible to have a high development of productive forces and to establish a strong socialist material and technological foundation. Secondly, the relationship between ideological and moral construction and scientific and cultural construction is not isolated. The general progress of the whole society's ideology and morality cannot be separated from the development of education, science and culture.

Therefore, in the whole process of socialist modernization, we must insist on giving priority to the development of education, science and culture.

Another important content of socialist spiritual civilization construction is ideological and moral construction, which mainly includes Marxist world outlook and scientific theory, the ideal, belief and morality of * * productism, the idea of ownership and collectivism adapted to socialist public ownership, the concept of rights and obligations and organizational discipline adapted to socialist political system, the dedication to serving the people and the working attitude of * * * productism, and socialist patriotism and internationalism.
